Rising Coronavirus cases in China a concern for India??

China has been witnessing an increase in COVID-19 cases since easing the oppressive restrictions last month in response to rare public demonstrations. The disease has been spreading rapidly from that point forward, with everyday cases including breaking new highs in the initial fourteen days of this current month.

Although the reported daily numbers have decreased, there have been reports of schools reopening, overcrowding in hospitals, and a lack of flu medication.

This information from the neighboring nation has not only alerted health officials in India, but it is also raising questions regarding the significance of herd immunity.

On Wednesday, CEO Adar Poonawalla of the Serum Institute of India (SII) urged people not to panic due to India's "excellent vaccination coverage and track record."

He also urged the populace to adhere to the guidelines established by the Indian government and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare at the same time.

Health officials and authorities are confident that India will not take a major hit this time as long as people follow the guidelines. Though China's situation is alarming.
